How to apply for National Service Scheme(NSS) Loan.

This article explains in detail how to use the short code *396*1# to apply for a National Service, NSS Loan.

The main problem here is that, as a National Service Personnel, you are not assured payment at the conclusion of the first month. In most circumstances, a loan will be necessary if this happens. A few years ago, getting a loan as an NSS personnel was challenging because you might not have met the requirements for one from a bank.

Because most guardians consider their responsibility is over after you graduate from tertiary school and are left to fend for yourself, applying for a loan as a National Service member is not embarrassing.

If you are not placed in an area that provides free housing, the problem gets worse because you will have to pay rent and buy things like a mattress and other necessities.

It is possible to apply for a loan through NSS Direct Service Loan for amounts ranging from GHS 100 to GHS 2,200. This easy step in the loan application procedure can be completed on your phone.

When you submit an application for a loan through the Direct Amount Service, NSS will disburse the loan to your E-zwitch card and deduct it each month. It’s important to note that processing or collateral costs are not applied to direct service loans.
